Rising to convergence


Seeing this, the phrase came to mind,
 “Everything that rises must converge,” 
Which apparently originated 
With Teilhard de Chardin, 
(Though it was probably made more famous 
By Flannery O’Connor), 
And while I truly cherish the thought 
 Of ascending into Oneness, 
I also know, as an artist,
 I’ve always struggled with perspective. 
How is it that I can comprehend this 
So clearly on a spiritual level, 
While finding it incomprehensible 
 When trying to draw or paint?
